# Basic info in the Azure AD sign-in logs
25+
26+
Azure AD logs all sign-ins into an Azure tenant for compliance. As an IT administrator, you need to know what the values in the sign-in logs mean, so that you can interpret the log values correctly.
27+
28+
This article explains the values on the Basic info tab of the sign-ins log.
29+
30+
## Unique identifiers
31+
32+
In Azure AD, a resource access has three relevant components:
33+
34+
- **Who** – The identity (User) doing the sign-in.
35+
- **How** – The client (Application) used for the access.
36+
- **What** – The target (Resource) accessed by the identity.
37+
38+
39+
Each component has an associated unique identifier (ID). Below is an example of user using the Windows Azure classic deployment model to access the Azure portal.
40+
41+
![Open audit logs](./media/reference-basic-info-sign-in-logs/sign-in-details-basic-info.png)
42+
43+
### Tenant identifiers
44+
45+
The sign-in log tracks two tenant identifiers:
46+
47+
- **Home tenant** – The tenant that owns the user identity.
48+
- **Resource tenant** – The tenant that owns the (target) resource.
49+
50+
These identifiers are relevant in cross-tenant scenarios. For example, to find out how users outside your tenant are accessing your resources, select all entries where the home tenant doesn’t match the resource tenant.
51+
52+
### Request ID
53+
54+
The request ID is an identifier that corresponds to an issued token. If you are looking for sign-ins with a specific token, you need to extract the request ID from the token, first.
55+
56+
57+
### Correlation ID
58+
59+
The correlation ID groups sign-ins from the same sign-in session. The identifier was implemented for convenience. Its accuracy is not guaranteed because the value is based on parameters passed by a client.
60+
61+
62+
63+
## Authentication requirement
64+
65+
This attribute shows the highest level of authentication needed through all the sign-in steps for the sign-in to succeed. In the Graph API, supports `$filter` (`eq` and `startsWith` operators only).
66+
67+
## Sign-in event types
68+
69+
Indicates the category of the sign in the event represents. For user sign-ins, the category can be `interactiveUser` or `nonInteractiveUser` and corresponds to the value for the **isInteractive** property on the sign-in resource. For managed identity sign-ins, the category is `managedIdentity`. For service principal sign-ins, the category is **servicePrincipal**. The Azure portal doesn't show this value, but the sign-in event is placed in the tab that matches its sign-in event type. Possible values are:
70+
71+
- `interactiveUser`
72+
- `nonInteractiveUser`
73+
- `servicePrincipal`
74+
- `managedIdentity`
75+
- `unknownFutureValue`
76+
77+
The Microsoft Graph API, supports: `$filter` (`eq` operator only)
78+
79+
## User type
80+
81+
The type of a user. Examples include `member`, `guest`, or `external`.
82+
83+
84+
## Cross-tenant access type
85+
86+
This attribute describes the type of cross-tenant access used by the actor to access the resource. Possible values are:
87+
88+
- `none`
89+
- `b2bCollaboration`
90+
- `b2bDirectConnect`
91+
- `microsoftSupport`
92+
- `serviceProvider`
93+
- `unknownFutureValue`
94+
95+
If the sign-in did not the pass the boundaries of a tenant, the value is `none`.
96+
97+
## Conditional access evaluation
98+
99+
This value shows whether continuous access evaluation (CAE) was applied to the sign-in event. There are multiple sign-in requests for each authentication. Some are shown on the interactive tab, while others are shown on the non-interactive tab. CAE is only displayed as true for one of the requests, and it can be on the interactive tab or non-interactive tab. For more information, see [Monitor and troubleshoot sign-ins with continuous access evaluation in Azure AD](../conditional-access/howto-continuous-access-evaluation-troubleshoot.md).
